Occupational Shortages

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations produces occupational reports as part of its skill shortage research program. The research focuses on highly skilled occupations, that is, those which usually require at least three years post-school education or training.

Further information on the DEEWR skill shortage research program, including the methodology, overview reports and lists of shortages, can be found at www.deewr.gov.au/skillshortages.
